bad turbos will leak oil thus producing blue(oil) smoke mostly. I'd do a compression check first if you have a tester. If not take the turbo off and have a look at it to see if you can determine if its leaking oil.

White = water (steam)
Blue = oil
Black = unburned fuel
Grey = tire tread
Yellow = upholstery

Yellow = upholstery

Well, after enough years, you see a whole lot of things.

A turbo will smoke white (like james bond quality smoke)...so will valve seals.

Powerwire smoke is a very thick yellow smoke too. Seen that a once or twice when I started wiring car stereo stuff. That sh!t is so thick and yellow..tastes god awfull too.
